Introduction

First, feel free to help out!

Secondly, this wiki page assumes you are using kernel 2.6.29 or greater.

The stock 2.6.29 kernel works just fine. There is no need for a customized eeePC kernel. These customized kernels used to contain patches to allow the hotkeys and whatnot to work. All of these features have since been merged into the standard kernel.

Installation

Use the 2009.02 installation USB image (see Install_from_USB_stick). There is out-of-the-box support for the wired and wireless NICs. There are no special instructions for installation. For an in-depth guide on the installation see the Beginners_Guide.

Xorg

This example uses hotplugging. Make sure that you have hal installed and started. Also, don't forget to add hal to the DAEMONS=() array in rc.conf!

Sample Config

Here is a basic xorg config file. Using xrandr, you can switch between the lcd + external display.
